Overview
- Okavango and the Source of Life by Steve Boyes is scheduled for release on March 3 through National Geographic and features more than 100 photographs and detailed maps.
- Harry’s foreword describes the Okavango Delta as his second home and connects his advocacy to Princess Diana’s 1997 visit to Angola’s minefields and his long support for the HALO Trust.
- He recounts a 2015 National Geographic expedition, supported by HALO, that reached the undocumented source of the Cuito River in Angola.
- Subsequent fieldwork documented 29 source lakes and identified hundreds of new species, underscoring the Okavango Wilderness Project’s conservation aims.
- Harry warns of a climate crisis and mass extinction in calling for protection of remaining wild ecosystems, and he is slated to speak at the IAPP Global Summit in Washington, D.C., from March 30 to April 2.
